- Instant, but fragile
Location mapping
- Aliquary
- Freezer → box → position, with capacity views
- LIMS
- Yes, often over-configured
- Spreadsheet
- Manual and error-prone
Aliquot lineage
- Aliquary
- Tracked parent → child
- LIMS
- Varies by module and license
- Spreadsheet
- None
Audit trail

- LIMS
- Full ELN / LIMS
- Spreadsheet
- Whatever you build
